Considering the Pope is not a scientist and his opinion on this matter carries no greater weight than the next person’s on this matter .... Then yeah, I’m going to place this in the same circular file as his anti- capitalist complaints.

You will have to file a police report.
You will have to paper file your return since efile will reject it.
The IRS will have all sorts of fun forms to fill out and will make you prove your identity to them.
You will have to apply for an IRS tax identity PIN every year to protect your return every year.
You will have to put a fraud alert on your credit with the major credit reporting agencies.
You will have to vigorously monitor your credit for ... Oh .... Forever.

Well .. If they really want to go down memory lane - we could re-examine how Janet Reno dealt with “Christian extremists” (i.e. a true cult that considered Koresh to be Christ ... Hardly what you would call “Christian”)

I liked him immediately - and it’s still hard to not like the guy.
I was more uneasy when he started expressing his views on economics. It wasn’t so much that I disagreed with him - but that he appeared to be assigning the worst possible motives to people he viewed as opposing him (motivated by greed - little concern for the poor ... Etc)

He’s been bemoaning how he can’t restore funding to schools or psych centers - but there sure seems to be enough $$$ to buy votes! (excuse me ... “refund” the taxpayers - but only right before Election Day)

Exactly - the Muslim traders along with the market created by white southern democrats .... I am not descended from any group that participated in it.
Yet - if you put me - a Muslim - and a democrat in front of this guy .... He chose to convert to Islam. He’d vote for the democrat, and then he’d whack me with a hatchet.

I’m sure NO ONE was more concerned and upset about Ebola than our president - once he heard about it on the news.
I’m sure he is now focused like a laser beam on fixing this problem.
Don’t worry comrades - we have Obamacare now.
They know how Ebola is spread and they know how to contain it.
If you catch it - it’s your own durn fault for not following protocol.

I first noticed it was annoying me when one of the IRS guys was getting grilled before congress.

Since then I can’t help but notice it being used in 2 types of situations.... 1. People who think they are smarter and are trying to talk “down” to others
2. People who are stalling while they mentally search for an answer...usually a bs answer

Why are people trusting the pie-in-the-sky CDC message?
Why would anyone walk into such a situation without protection just because the CDC assured them it was safe.
For cry in’ out loud - it’s like no one is thinking for themselves.
